Job description

Overview

Please note that this is a full-time role working 44 hours per week from 8am - 8pm, full flexibility is required. Right now, we're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times. As a Care Assistant under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will take responsibility for the physical and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals. Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart means ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality, as you get involved in general activities within the care home. You may help someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offer emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or deliver care to someone at the end of their life, always keeping their well-being in mind.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and it is important that you are able to recognise signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect. You will be required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to your role and undertake additional training in associated areas. You should be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
